RECIPE FOR HONEY ROASTED ALMONDS

Source: Recipe from Cooks.com and tips shared by my reader, KY

Ingredients:
2 cups (250g) whole almonds (skins on)
¼ cups sugar (I used 3 tbsp castor sugar)
½ tsp salt (I used ¼ heapful tsp)
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp water
2 tsp almond or vegetable oil (I used olive oil)

Methods:

  1. Spread the almonds in a single layer in a shallow ungreased baking pan and place in a cold oven. Bake at 175°C, stirring occasionally, until the internal colour of nuts is tan (note 1). It takes about 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  2. Thoroughly mix the sugar and salt. Set aside.
  3. Stir together the honey, water and oil in a medium size pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Stir in the roasted almonds and continue to cook and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed by the nuts (about 5 minutes).
  5. Immediately transfer to a medium bowl and sprinkle sugar/ saltmixture (in step 2)over and toss. Spread on grease proof paper and cool down completely.
  6. Store in air-tight container.

Notes:

  1. You need to break one almond to see the internal colour. (Wear a pair of hand gloves when doing this step as the nut is very hot). If it is light brown, it is done. If you’re still not sure, give it a bite to test the crunchiness. As the residue heat will continue to cook these almonds even after they are removed from the oven, thus donot over-roast them.
  2. If you prefer plain roasted almonds, you can stop after step 1.
  3. The roasted almonds will tend to stick to each other in the air-tight container due to the sugar coating. To separate them, just hold the container and give it a shake.
  4. Best to consume within 3-4 days for its maximum freshness. Otherwise, the roasted almonds will losetheir crunchiness and delicate flavour.

    Hi there, thanks for the recipe.
    You could also try eating soaked raw almonds as well. Soaking them overnight unlocks much more of the nutritional benefits of the nut 🙂

    It was very interesting to read all about almonds. 🙂 I never knew that they were bad for you too though. I only knew that eating too many would mean too much fat. I know that if I made these though, I would probably eat a whole jar. haha

      Esther: Glad you like this recipe. As mentiond in this link (http://www.foodfit.com/centers/almond/healthsnack.asp), almonds contain monounsaturated fat which is considered “good” fat for our body. They keep our heart healthy and lower our cholesterol. They also make up all your cell membranes. So if you eat them according to the best way suggested in my post, you will get to enjoy the health benefits provided by almonds. 😉

    Hi LK,

    Bet you must have spent many hours to get all those facts and info on almonds for this post. My pleasure to share this recipe with you and the rest. Good food is for sharing, right? Your almonds definitely look tempting… I do agree that these almonds serve as better snack food than others in the shelves. Don’t mind the sugar and salt, though! As usual, your food presentation and photos do not fail my expectation.

    Rgds,
    KY

    Hi, Do i need to rinse the almond first? Mine is Raw Almond bought from market.

    And, can you suggest which brand of almond to buy?

    Thank you

    Hi you mentioned that there are many benefits if the almonds are soaked first. Do we soak the almonds overnight before patting time dry to oven them as per your recipe? Thank you for sharing! Love your recipes!

      Charis: Glad you love my recipes! I usually don’t soak them overnight before roasting. I think it sounds feasible to do so. However, you may need to pat them dry first, bake at a lower temperature until the almonds are thoroughly dry before roasting them. 🙂
